Four-Temperament Ensemble/Web Comics

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Four-Temperament Ensemble in Web Comics include:

  • Sacred Pie features phlegmatic leader Roonas, choleric Sid, and a very sanguine Bob.
  • The Order of the Stick: Haley and Elan are Sanguine, Belkar is Choleric, V is Melancholic, Roy is Phlegmatic, and Durkon is Supine.
    • The bad guys form an ensemble as well. Xykon is Choleric, Redcloak is Melancholic, Tsukiko and Right Eye (Start of Darkness) fitted Sanguine, and Monster in the Darkness is Phlegmatic or Supine.
  • Going by the negative traits (because really, they have no others,) the cast of Exterminatus Now fits pretty nicely: East is Sanguine, Lothar is Choleric, Virus is Melancholic, and Rogue is Phlegmatic.
  • Looking at the the questing team in Digger, The Shadowchild is Sanguine, Grim Eyes is Choleric, Murai is Melancholic, and Digger is Phlegmatic.
  • Keychain of Creation: Misho is Melancholic, Marena is Choleric, and Ten Winds is Phlegmatic. Secret is a bit harder to pin down; she'd be a good fit for Sanguine, except for her low self-esteem.
  • Ctrl+Alt+Del: Ethan is sanguine, Lucas is melancholic, Lilah is choleric and Zeke is phlegmatic.
  • Questionable Content: Dora is Sanguine, Faye is Choleric, Hannerlore is Melancholic and Marten is Phlegmatic.
  • Friendly Hostility: Fox is Sanguine, Collin is Choleric, Demon is Melancholic and Derringer is Phlegmatic.
  • Homestuck: John is phlegmatic, Rose is melancholic, Dave is choleric, and Jade is sanguine.
    • And among the Midnight Crew, Spades Slick is choleric, Clubs Deuce is sanguine, Diamonds Droog is melancholic, and Hearts Boxcars is phlegmatic.
    • Among the trolls: Nepeta, Vriska and Feferi are sanguine; Karkat, Terezi and Eridan are choleric; Tavros, Kanaya and Equius are melancholic; Aradia, Sollux and Gamzee are phlegmatic.
      • Alternately, Sollux is melancholic, Tavros is phlegmatic (specifically, supine) and Vriska is choleric.
  • Ruby's World: Ruby is choleric, Alexis is sanguine, Jiro is melancholic, and Jens is Phlegmatic. Word of God says this was planned from the start.
  • Cry Havoc features Skoll a sanguine, Karcharoth a Choleric, Hati a melancholic, and Fenrir a phlegmatic. These characteristics seem to drive them apart more than unite them, as is normal.
  • The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob: Bob is Phlegmatic, Jean is Melacholic, Molly is Sanguine, and Voluptua is Choleric (although Jean certainly has the hair-trigger temper of a Choleric).
  • The Light Warriors of 8-Bit Theater: Red Mage is Sanguine (emphasis on arrogant and self-indulgent), Thief is Choleric (emphasis on narrow-minded and obsessive), Fighter is Phlegmatic (emphasis on lazy and reactionary), and Black Mage is Melancholic (emphasis on independence and perfection).
  • In The Dreamer, Alan is Phlegmatic Type II, Alexander is Choleric, Beatrice is Sanguine, and Nathan is Melancholic.
  • Sluggy Freelance fits this trope very well: Torg is Sanguine, Riff is Melancholic, Gwynn is Choleric, and Zoë is Phlegmatic.
  • The titular doctors of The Dragon Doctors: Sarin is Sanguine, Goro is Choleric, Mori is Melancholic, and Kili and Aki are Phlegmatic. Fittingly, the four were also compared by the artist to Air, Fire, Earth, and Water, respectively, matching the Four Temperments' elemental affiliations.
  • Narbonic: Helen is sanguine, Mell is choleric, Dave is phlegmatic and Artie is melancholic.
  • The main four characters in Our Little Adventure. Julie is Sanguine, Angelika is Choleric, Rocky is Melancholic, and Lenny is Phlegmatic.
  • The Quirky Miniboss Squad in The Fourth. Slice is Sanguine, Ecta is Choleric, Davis is Melancholic and Floyd is Phlegmatic.
